It doesn’t matter if it’s 2 months or 2 years apart, nothing can quite prepare you for the pain of being far away from the person you love. It’s pretty traumatic at times, I’ll be honest – particularly when timezone come into play. 8 hours apart and 7000 miles? Yes, less than ideal.

It’s tough, it’s emotionally exhausting and it will make you question your relationship and/or your reasoning on embarking on this long distance crap in the first place.  There is a lot of negativity attached to this form of relationship – but I urge you, don’t allow that fear make you hastily decide to call it quits before you even began.
